Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

The MSC-1 is an advanced speed controller for the company's AC speed control motors. Related To: Oriental Motor USA The speed controller connects directly to a PLC or computer and features two speed ...

The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 70 AC Drive is a proven solution designed for demanding industrial motor control tasks.

Choosing the right motor and VFD type depends on a variety of factors; however, it is necessary to analyze how the motor changes when the speed is reduced. The experts at eMotors Direct outline ...

Oriental Motor USA is proud to introduce our newest AC motor Speed Control products, the DSC Series motor and controller package. The DSC Series is a cost effective, high functioning and simple to use ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. More than 80% of the motors bought each year continue to be low-cost single-phase ac motors. Because these motors are not very efficient when ...

Adjustable-frequency drives have been billed as an energy efficient way to drive three-phase ac induction motors. Nevertheless, designers should understand that motors fed by inverter power experience ...

When Tesla first introduced the 3-phase alternating current (AC) induction motor in 1888, he knew that his invention was more efficient and reliable than Edison's direct current (DC) motor. However, ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Definitions of motion control vary widely in industry today. Definitions of motion control vary widely in industry today. Depending on the application, motion control can refer to simple on-off ...
